I dont care for the name at all. 

But a NZLDP (New Zealand Linux Documentation Project) is a cool idea where, EVERYONE pools, links too, what ever floats your boat. 

Editing the WLUG wiki requires WLUG membership? So why make people in Wellington LUG join to work on WLUG's website?

Umm, so, the WLUG wiki has over 3000 pages of user contributed and edited
pages. Many of these edits have been made by people from other countries
who have found the pages by google. Do you propose we throw that away to
help start a "NZLUG" (whatever that means) version because you don't think
just using the WLUG one is good enough for the rest of NZ ?

People from all over the rest of the world co-operate by adding to our
wiki. Is it that hard for the rest of NZ to co-operate with it too ?

The only thing that seems to be being argued about is the name. It's
called the wlug wiki because we started it, put the resources into it and
have been feeding and tending to it for the past few years. There is no
reason it couldn't be just as much the NZLUG's documentation source.
